She had ' n approached so near as to admit of ! ir distinguishing the Yankee officers ! m their men. She now raised the it.-il States flag while we horsted the i glisb ensign. About, quarter past, one \ i Yankee tired her first gun, au?i kept i an incessant firing fwni five guns. iout three hundred and fifty shois were i d at the Shandy. i As the Yankees still appeared to gain [ < the.Shandy vfcry fast, it was deemed i ;essary to lighten her b.V throwing j I rboaril part of the cargo To this j h passengers and crew joined; all on ' ?i 11.,, iv ,1,^. i-rr.w WIki were 1 "?> j , .

As he rode up to the colors, and tlie men caught sight of his well known figure, a wild and prolonged cheer, fraught with a feeling that thrilled ' all hearts, ran along the lines and rose to the heaven. Ilats were thrown high, I and many persons became almost frantic j with emotion. General Lengstreet shared fully in the excitement, and waved his Jiat in the most excited tnuuucr. It ' was then a liinc sight to see General Lee ride forward, and, uncovering his nobly j modeled and venerable head, acknowl- | edged, with consummate grace and dig- , nity, the greeting. One heard on all 1 sides such expressions as "What a splen- ' did figure!'' "What a noble face and t head!" "Our destiny is in his hands!" ! | "lie is the best, and greatest man on this j continent!" lie was accompanied bv his ! 3on, Brigadier General William F. Lee, ! ' soon, it is said, to be made a Major Gen. Before the cheering ceased, an old lady, with akiuJ,motherly face, passing a party of soldiers, bowed to them repeatedly, exclaiming with an emotion that thrilled ill who heard Jier: "I bow to you?I bow to you, soldiers."
